Yes:
$ cat /usr/lib/libncurses.so
INPUT(-lncursesw)

Yes, pkg-config would have caught it:
$ pkg-config --libs ncurses
-lncursesw -ltinfo

I noticed in the meantime, that the package maintainer made a commit, which
fixes the problem too:
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/?h=packages/ncurses&id=987faeb8442d44e76a7a58642e8e6432eb220c25

Thanks,
